The bill aims to improve the living conditions in Lamberton and potentially stimulate economic growth by ensuring essential services are modernized.

Summary

HF42 is a legislative bill aimed at addressing water infrastructure issues and street reconstruction in the city of Lamberton. It appropriates a total of $1,950,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the Public Facilities Authority, specifically designated for grants to facilitate the design, construction, and improvement of source water systems and municipal infrastructures. The funds allocated will cover essential improvements such as new wells, water piping, and the necessary upgrades to the sanitary sewer and storm sewer systems, in addition to city street reconstruction.

Contention
